What do you mean?
The 34 B9's for Fab 56 & Cobalt Clipper.
Allows all SPD's to be withdrawn. Thanks to the Solars from 56 going to Northern. And also thanks to the Omnicitys from Cobalt displacing Whey Aye 5-0 Solars.
It also allows to more Olympians to be withdrawn as Citaros from cobalt can mean the current X21 vehicles can replace Olympians on school runs etc.
Meanwhile some more Olympians can maybe be withdrawn at Stanley maybe thanks to the Omnicitys going to X30/X31, though the latter is just speculative.
I apologise do you mean the spare red B9's? I do believe its just like for like replacements however as they're are new Vehicle they don't need branded spares, which means they have greater flexibility in terms of allocations. The two Versas at Gateshead, did replace one SPD, if I recall correctly? Maybe some shuffling in terms of Lolynes and other deckers maybe?
